Debug menu (SSB)

The battle debug menu in Super Smash Bros..

The debug menus are elements of development that were accidentally left in Super Smash Bros.. There are four menus: System debug, Battle debug, Falls debug, and Unknown debug. Within these menus, the player has control over various aspects of the game, including unplayable characters, unplayable and single player stages, and more. In order to get to the debug menus, a GameShark device must be used.
